    Away from Warwick Parkway early but probably will be held at Leamington Spa to follow the 7.38 Voyager to Bournemouth and end up on time. Looking great in the morning sunshine with a Bristolian headboard, 10 coaches and no diesel. I've just noticed it takes 1 hour 15 minutes on the schedule to get from Oxford North Junction to the south end of Hinksey Loop!

    5 late at Heyford, but going well. I didn't notice a box on the back, but the train whooshed past rather quickly, so may have missed it!

    Nice picture of the Castle in the sunshine, at least there isn't a fire risk in Bristol, heavy rain last night and this morning.

    Just been told that the departure from Bristol has been retimed 1 hour later. Oxford departure will be 2107 as planned. Good news for the passengers, slightly less so for those of us hoping to see EoME at Dauntsey then nip across to the B&H for Ollie...

    An HST departs from BTM at 18:00 for Paddington. A Northern Belle charter is then due to depart from BTM at 18:04 bound
    for Bath, Swindon, Oxford and eventually Gobowen. The Castle should then depart at 18:09 if our rumours are correct. <BJ>
